Patient's question:
I am a 52-year-old woman who doesn't usually have much going on, but after having sex with my boyfriend, I always feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: Can multiple uterine fibroids be treated with minimally invasive surgery?Doctor's answer:
Oral medication has a minimal effect on treating uterine fibroids. If the number of multiple uterine fibroids is five or fewer, and the largest one is within six centimeters, minimally invasive surgery can be used to remove the fibroids. However, if there are more than five fibroids, minimally invasive surgery is not applicable. Additionally, if the fibroids are fibrotic, it indicates a longer pathological duration of the fibroids, and the uterus may have shrunk. If you experience lower abdominal heaviness or prolonged vaginal bleeding, it is recommended to undergo surgery, as the risk of conservative treatment is significantly higher.
